Forum: Flight and Migration – Societies in Transition

When: Friday, November 10 to Sunday, November 19, 2017

Where: Berlin, Germany

Who's eligible: Humanity in Action Fellows and Senior Fellows

Humanity in Action launched a ten-day forum entitled "Flight and Migration – Societies in Transition" for Humanity in Action Fellows and Senior Fellows. Humanity in Action Germany hosted this initiative in Berlin from November 10 to 19, 2017.

Applications were due by August 27, 2017.

Fellows and Senior Fellows came together as a community of human rights leaders to

enhance and share their knowledge, skills, and expertise in migration and integration-related issues;

reflect collectively on their own positions and practical experiences in and for the inclusion of newcomers who are seeking refuge in Europe; and to

network with civil society organizations, refugee initiatives, experts, activists, and members of the Humanity in Action community.

The forum was informal in nature and included several social activities and site visits to places that reflect the experience of refugees in the city. Exploring the urban space in relation to migration is part of the curriculum.
